Okay, I think I'm beginning to get this... my original equation had the divisor of 2*d... are you saying it should just be everything divided by 2, or should it be divided by 2*d ? Thanks!

Hmm okay, so then should I be using (mv^2)/ 2 to find the acceleration? ... does that v stand for initial or final velocity? Sorry for all these questions, I probably seem so clueless... I've just never had a physics class before so I'm slightly overwhelmed. Thanks for you help, though.

After some searching on the web, someone had used that to find it. I'm guessing that is wrong? Should I do F1/ m to get it? I just wasn't sure if I should use that formula since its only the force in the +x direction and not net force. Or well, I guess using F1/m won't work, cause then the find...

Oh yes, sorry. 5.128 X 10 ^13
